30 Day Book Challenge – Day 23

Day 23: Favorite book you own

Now my favorite book of all time is Mansfield Park by Jane Austen. But for this post I’m going to have to go with two copies I have of a different book.

Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell

The first copy I have is from the first year of printing. It’s not a first edition unfortunately but as close as I could get in a price range that is acceptable for me. This is also the edition that can be seen in my blog page photo with my bookmark.

August 1936 printing

A little damage to the bottom corner of the spine

I love the pages from the side like this! 🙂

The second copy I have is one that I didn’t know existed until I came across it on Ebay a few years back. The motion picture edition from 1939. Mine is not in the best shape but it’s just a cool thing to have. Unfortunately the dust jacket was missing from the copy I received but that’s not uncommon for a book this age.

Photos placed throughout the book from the movie with a notation for the page number that particular scene can be found in the book.

I love these copies of GWTW. Although it is not my favorite book, it is my favorite movie. I have tons of GWTW collectibles and these are an awesome part of my collection.
